Short Story for Kids written by: Ulica Tizaber.
Pooky was a boy from Alaska, he lived inside an igloo with his eskimo family. They barely went out of there due to the weather conditions of his country, but they received many visits from foreigner kids.
There was lot of tourism in Alaska, as there were many visitors, Pooky had lo learn several languages.
The first language and dialect he spoke was Yupik, from the north of Alaska. That language was the one he used to speak with his family at home, especially with his grandparents.
He also learnt to speak russian, english, french and spanish. He was a real multilingual boy and was so proud of it.
The words Pooky said were very different, he was a language expert, that is why when he talked to other children in their own language, Pooky enjoyed stealing their words.
How did he steal them?, easy, he kept the words that meant the same in all languages, but with different pronunciations, and he and the other kids had to continue talking without that stolen words.
It was like that until arrived a day that nobody could understand the others, only Pooky was able to understand all his foreigner fiends. Because he had all the possible translations needed to have a coherent language. He hadn´t thought that if there are no kids to talk to, he won´t have nothing to learn.
When he realized that, began to feel very sad, feeling sorry about everything he had done, so, little by little, began to share out the words he had robed, until all the kids had theirs, and he felt better.
That is how the eskimo boy understood that to listen and share with the other is what matters in life.
And that is the end of the story…
